Can I just say how much I love this little bird!!! Annie made hime perfectly! He is from the short movie For The Birds, if you haven't watched it you have to it is so funny, it is only about 3 minutes long. You can go here to watch it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dq2dJcZBJA

The box is the Fold Over Box from SVG Cutting Files also you can get it here http://svgcuttingfiles.com/catalog.php?item=1557 I sized it at 9.015" tall and 4.290" wide and it holds the pack of gum perfectly. The fun sentiment is from the Best Friends stamp set from Jaded Blossom.

Time for another challenge over at My Craft Spot. The challenge this week is Blast from the Past. So this cute little chef is from an old post. I just love her for several reasons, she is just plain cute but also she reminds me of my daughter Lexi with her long black hair. Lexi also loves to bake so when I made this card I did it with her in mind.

**Terms and Conditions apply, so fill out ye form and be patient will ya?

Lets all be smartly about the hop and have a beauty of a time!

Aye Aye and now for the projects!!

For my project I made a shaped card. I took the pirate ship from the Pirates Life and turned it into a shaped card. For the skull and cross bones on the sail I used the Pirate Ship cut file. I cut my cute Maccus, if you can call him cute! at 2.5" tall and the ship at 5" tall. I layered it together with foam tape for added dimension. For the sentiment I used the V is for Villain stamp set and for the hook on the back of the card, I used the Villain Candies stamp set both from Jaded Blossom.

I am so excited to share this new stamp set with you today because I helped design it!! This is the first time I have ever done anything like that and it was fun and intimidating! So I hope you really like this set!!

It is called Batty For You!!

For this first card I used the Batty For You for the sentiment and the Halloween Shapes metal dies for the bat and ghosts. The fence was made with the new Fancy Edges - Halloween metal die. All of these are from My Craft Spot. The sentiment on the front of the card was embossed. So I have had a few questions about how I did the background on this card well it is top secret! Not really, it came that way. It is just printed paper from the spooky time mat stack from DCWV. Made it so simple to do this fun card.

For this fun little treat box I used the Coffin Bat Treat Box from SVG Cutting Files. I hand cut the banner and stamped it with the sentiment from the Batty For You stamp set.

Don't forget to join us tomorrow for our Blog Hop!! There will be lots of fun and cuteness and of course PRIZES!!

For this sweet little scarecrow I used the Chibi Scarecrow on Post from SVG Cutting Files, love him!! The pumpkins were cut using the new Fall Wheelbarrow metal dies and stamped with the new Banner Sentiments - Fall from My Craft Spot.

These little bat treat boxes are the Bat Head Treat Box from SVG Cutting Files so quick and easy to make! The sentiments are stamped with the new Banner Sentiments - Fall from My Craft Spot.

Okay can I just say I love this box!! It is the Haunted House Box from SVG Cutting Files and it is just so cute!! It is super easy to make and you will love it!! I used a couple of different embossing folders on it for some fun texture and inked it up. The fun bat fence on the roof is the new Fancy Edges - Halloween metal dies. The ghosts were cut with the Halloween Shapes metal dies and the sentiment was stamped with the Banner Sentiments - Fall all from My Craft Spot.
